A MAN'S VOICE, Chapter. VI.— Continued. Pemups, -if he knew — who shall say the dead cio not know ? — what was thought r.3i:l folt and said about him, he might not have cared over much. 'Who can tell? Evans returned from Bransmore in ignorance of what had happened, and hardly in a state of mind to notice what was being shouted in the streets. She found the noise at Charing Cross, added to considerably by the yelling of the news-vendors, so dis tracting — accustomed as she was to the quiet of Highgate lanes — that she could with difliiculty find her way to the omnibus she wanted. She was anxiov s to get home as quickly as possible, hoping that her master might have returned, or that she would hear some news of him. She hurried across the field, and reaching the lane, was surprised to see a man, in; ordinary dress, who ap peared to be waiting for someone. He immediately- advanced towards her, and asked /if. her name was Evans. / :'-.: \. :.V '?-. y'' ' Yes, ' she ' replied jvstiu'tled...

Dr. Lyttleton (chairman) and Messrs. A. W. Moli neaux and W. 'W.Webb, J-'s.P., were present. It was stated that represen tations bad been made to the Board by Mr. Chas. Purcell that during the wet weather, such as bad been experienced during the last week, there was no means of access to the school from the opposite side of the creek, ' where the teacher and the majority of the pupils attending the school resided ; and as a conse quence the. school at such- times was practically closed.

OUR 'ALLEGED ' ROADS SUPERVISION. Sin — Without seeking shelter behind other than my baptismal name, I wish to deal candidly with a subject which for a long time has boon a grievous one to residents in this district — viz., the wretched state of the roads in and around Adolong. I shall be brief, and to the point. It is apparent to all thoughtful people here that Mr. Adam (road supcrintcntendent) has, for some reason peculiar to himself, studiously neglected work for which he is paid by the residents of Adelong, through the State. That the roads need repairing sadly is agreed by all who use them — excepting Mr. Adam. That paid ser vant of the people, we now discover, actually had the effrontery to return to the Works Department a sum of over £300, which -was part of the vote for our district roads, granted after due inquiry as to requirements, by Parlia ment. Residents generally are quite astounded at such a cruel action by a person who is paid from their taxes to look to the state o...
